Thank you! I only got yo try it on a couple of pieces one knarly twisty stringy hickory. It didn't impress me lol. Although nothing splits those in an impressive fashion. Then I tried a piece of oak and it worked really well. It did not stick. Before the rework it would stick all the time.
I wonder if the reliefs that you ground in helped to alleviate the sticking? I have a few heads laying around, and I might grind one and give it a try. Cool video and thanks for sharing.
